# version 1.0-11

* `st_make_grid()` also accepts area units for `cellsize`, for square and \ 
hexagonal grids; #1505

  representations;
  https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2023-March/056994.html

* conversion to GEOS uses the `GEOS_PREC_VALID_OUTPUT` flag, which
  makes sure that the "[o]utput is always valid. Collapsed geometry
  elements (including both polygons and lines) are removed."

# version 1.0-10

* `gdal_utils()` has a `config_options` argument to set further GDAL
  options, just like `st_write()`; #2003

* fix slow writing of logical vectors in `st_write()`; #1409; #1689

* `st_drivers()` has an argument `regex` to filter on driver (long) name; #2090

* `st_crs()$axes` returns a `data.frame` with axes properties (name,
  orientation, conversion factor) when GDAL >= 3.0.0

* clean up unit handling for geometry measures (length, area, distance) and crs;

* `st_crs(x)$ud_unit` returns `NULL` if units are unknown; #2049

* `st_write()` substitutes an `NA` crs with `ENGCRS["Undefined
  Cartesian SRS with unknown unit"]`; #2049, #2054

* `st_can_transform()` checks whether a transformation between two crs
  exists; see https://github.com/dieghernan/tidyterra/issues/64; #2049

* the matrix returned by `st_coordinates()` has no row names, to reduce output size

# version 1.0-9

* adjust for changes how R-devel handles `POSIXlt`; #2028

* add `st_break_antimeridian()`; #1983, #1991 by Roger Bivand

* add `Fibonacci` as a spatial sampling type in `st_sample()`

* use the global `options("sf_use_s2")` to determine whether to use
  s2, rather than a value in a local environment; #1977

* optimizations for `st_sfc()` by @paleolimbot; #1938, #1925

* `[<-.sfc()` recomputes the bounding box; `st_sfc()` gets parameter \ 
`compute_bbox`; #1965

* add new algorithm and drop option to `st_make_valid()` when using GEOS and \ 
GEOS >= 3.10.1; #1655

* add `st_minimum_rotated_rectangle()`, available when GEOS >= 3.9.0; #1953

* fix `st_sample()` with `type = "hexagonal"` for corner case (n=1),
  add a `progress` argument for a progress bar; #1945

* add package `pbapply` to Suggests; #1945

* add pdf driver to windows build; #1942

  https://github.com/tidyverse/ggplot2/issues/4571

* `gdal_metadata()` sets metadata item names properly

* `st_read()` gains an argument `optional` passed on to
  `as.data.frame` to avoid changing column names; #1916

* GPX files are autodetected by `st_read()`; #1917

* unnecessary coordinate names are not returned in `st_sample()`,
  making the output size smaller; #1879

# version 1.0-7

* `st_drop_geometry()` is a generic; #1914

* `st_crs(x)$ud_unit` returns the unit of the coordinate reference system of `x`

* geometric predicates return `sgbp` objects omitting
  self-intersections etc. by passing `remove_self = TRUE` and unique
  symmetric relationship by passing `retain_unique = TRUE` (to `...`
  if needed); this simplifies identifying (and removing) duplicated
  geometries; duplicates are identified by e.g. by `st_equals(x,
  retain_unique = TRUE) |> unlist() |> unique()`; #1893

* fix compile issue against GDAL < 2.5.0 introduced in 1.0-6; #1899

# version 1.0-6

distance computation; #1874

# version 1.0-5

* package startup message reports status of `sf_use_s2()`; #1782

* `sf_use_s2()` uses `message()` to report a change; #1782

* `st_sample()` using regular sampling for ellipsoidal coordinates
  "works" as if coordinates were Cartesian; #1837

# version 1.0-4

* new function `st_delete()` deletes a data source, or layer(s) within
  a data source; #1828

* fix memory leak in `WKT1_ESRI` retrieval; #1690

# version 1.0-3

* cope with how GEOS >= 3.10.0 handles illegal geometries (e.g., non-closed \ 
rings); #1807

* `crs` objects have a `$srid` method to extract the SRID (as authority \ 
"name:code"); #1804

* `st_as_grob()` methods for `sfc_*` objects correctly handle empty
  geometries; #1789 with help from Hiroaki Yutani

* when writing objects with `NA` as CRS to GeoPackage, assign "Unknown
  Cartesian CRS" first - this is in line with using Cartesian geometry
  operations for objects with `NA` as CRS; #1776

* add coerce method from `sgbp` to `sparseMatrix`; #1750

* fix `st_cast()` for `GEOMETRYCOLLECTIONS` containing empty geometries; #1767
